Michael Sreenan is a photographer based in the northeast of the UK. His practice, spanning both commissioned and personal work, is grounded in building honest and empathetic connections with the people he photographs. His portraits are known for their warmth, sensitivity, and an emphasis on authenticity—qualities that sit at the heart of his approach.

His recent project, You Look Like You, is a deeply personal visual exploration of trauma, brain injury, and the unpredictable nature of recovery. Developed over several years, the work reflects his ongoing interest in how we process experience and how identity is shaped through both connection and change. The project was funded by a National Lottery Project grant from Arts Council England.

Michael’s work has been recognised by the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Britain (2023), and exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, including You Look Like You (Redcar Contemporary Art Gallery, 2024); Let Not the Deep Swallow Me Up (Kirkleatham Museum, 2024); Open Call (Redcar Palace Hub, 2023); and the Portrait Exhibition (Glasgow Gallery of Photography, 2023).
